Steel Strings Currently For Sale


Voodoo Child

Sold

 

Voodoo Child is a very versatile steel string dreadnought that really stands out and comes to life when using a flat pick. It’s a Bluegrass players dream guitar for sure. The clarity, string separation and playability is second to none. A very powerful instrument with big volume and a rich tone. I can’t say enough about this guitar.

“Arrakis” (the spice), is truly from some distant planet.  She is the delightful “evil twin” sister to a 12-string I made a while back. I kinda made it for myself but she’s up for grabs.

Dolores

 

Dolores is a 00-14 model consisting of Indian rosewood back and sides with European spruce top and Spanish cedar neck.  The binding, rosette and head inlays are snakewood; very warm and elegant.  Right now I am very fond of the wheatgrass purfling I used around the top and rosette.  The short 24.9” string scale make big stretches so easy and the small body size fits like a glove even for the petite player.

Tiny Dancer

 

This 12 fret to the body steel string was a crowd favorite at the Santa Barbara Acoustic Instrument Celebration. When you hear her for the first time you’re just gone, it’s over.  The Cocobolo is absolutely beautiful and the Sitka spruce top is highly figured.

 

Only the best for this girl, she has Asian Burl Wood inlay on the headstock, Indian Rosewood binding, chevron profiling, Abalone inlay on the rosette, and, hand-made Alessi tuners from Italy with real Mother of Pearl on the tuner buttons.  Give up now!  Drop me a note.
